About the property

Indulge all your senses from this ocean-view, 3-bedroom, 2-bath Hanalei beach home.

If you were any closer to the waves of Hanalei Bay, you’d need flippers. You’ll hear the surf from every room in this three-bedroom, two-bath beach house that’s a mere 80 steps from the velvety sands of world-famous Hanalei Bay, considered the best beach in all of Hawaii. Tucked away on a short cul-de-sac street, this 1,900-square-foot home’s elegant design, superior location in Hanalei and spectacular views offer guests a memorable immersion in a tropical wonderland.

Fully remodeled and furnished to anticipate vacationers’ every need, the charms of this extraordinary home are evident the moment you step onto the property, lushly landscaped with plumeria and orchids under a canopy of papaya and coconut palm trees. On the breakfast bar, find a gift basket of local artisan chocolate, Hawaiian spices and discount coupons that will introduce you to favorite Kauai treats and adventures—ice cream, bike rentals and a catered dinner.

Kick off your sandals and rinse the day’s sand from your toes in the elegant foot bath or hot-water outdoor shower, then step up to the expansive second story. The home’s open-floor plan brings ocean and garden views into the combined kitchen and dining area, where you’ll routinely gather to recount the day’s adventures. Leaf through our book of suggestions for hiking, dining and sightseeing, or borrow beach gear for a day of sunny recreation. Be inspired by the home’s gallery-worth photography of Kauai landmarks to plan your next outing.

Strategically located windows open to the cooling ocean breezes and bring a light, airy atmosphere to every room. Arranged to offer privacy for couples, friends or families, this ideal vacation getaway with 12-foot cathedral ceilings immerses guests in the island’s laid-back lifestyle. In no time, you’ll be dining outside on the lanai (that’s what some call a deck or porch), sipping coffee outside the master bedroom in the morning and gathering for an ocean-view meal at night. With a kitchen outfitted for the most discerning chefs, you’ll be turning out quick meals on the barbecue gas grill with ease.

The private master suite has a king bed, large closet, dressing area, adjoining bathroom and access to a private lanai. There are two spacious guest bedrooms, one with a queen bed and the second guest bedroom with two twin beds that can convert to a king if needed. Both of these rooms have beautiful views of the lush tropical landscaping surrounding this home.

In anticipation of our guests’ every need, the electronic front door locks require no keys to pick up, share or return. There is a large flat-screen TV, and high-speed Wi-Fi powers all your devices. The kitchen is fully stocked to meet all of your dining needs including shopping bags for your Farmer’s Market visits, basic seasonings and cleaning supplies. The downstairs laundry room features an over-sized washer and dryer. Throughout the home, labels and instructions aid familiarity with the house and appliances.

At sundown, you’ll soon appreciate the origin of Sunset Hale’s name. Sip a frosty cocktail as the setting sun nightly washes you with its crimson rays and reflect on yet another day in paradise.

hanalei relaxation and refresh

Our stay at Sunset Hale was as we hoped. The property was lovely, well maintained, and nicely furnished. The kitchen was well equipped for our daily meal prep needs and enjoyment. This property is surrounded by plentiful and nicely chosen planting,including high grown shrubs and trees, making it feel enclosed to surroundings. The short street access to the beach was busy during our 10 day stay as the waves were calling to surfers. We loved our time in this property and shall return! The owner and Kauai Vacation Rentals made certain our needs were met and that we were comfortable. We loved the 3 little gekos who visited during our meals. Relaxed and refreshed after our 10 days, we will return asap! Mahalo Sunset Hale!

great stay in hanalei right by the beach

This is a very nice home right by the beach and within walking distance from the restaurants and shops in Hanalei. The layout is great for 3 couples - we were there with our two adult kids and their significant others. The description and pictures on the site are accurate. The house was spotless when we arrived, the beds are very comfortable, showers are good and the kitchen is well appointed. There’s a beach parking lot at the end of Hee road - this means you’re steps away from beach access, but also surfer traffic during the day and the occasional beach party sounds (which we experienced only on Saturday nights). This wouldn’t stop us from coming back or recommending this outstanding property to others!

your hanalei dream come true

My family and I had the best week staying at Sunset Hale on Kauai this December. The 60 second walk to the beach on Hanalei Bay is absolutely incredible. And you're also only a 15 minute walk to Hanalei Center. The house was perfect for our group of 6, plus an infant. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking breakfast, lunch and dinner. The foot wash and outdoor shower were great to have. The dining room only had four chairs, but we ate almost all of our meals out on the outside deck anyways.

Kauai Vacation Rentals was responsive and helpful. We left a cooler in the fridge with milk and snacks for our 1 year old while checking out. KVR was able to quickly connect with the cleaning staff and have them drop it out front for us before we left Hanalei.

If you want to stay in the center of Hanalei Bay, I don't know how you could do any better than Sunset Hale.

good times had by all!

First time visitors to Kauai. We couldn’t have picked a better location on the island. The bay was breathtaking and the mountains with waterfalls behind the house was amazing. The house was clean and had a wonderful layout. It was a very close walk to the beach and an easy drive to restaurants and shopping. We fell in love with the small village and laid back atmosphere. Would stay again!!!

incredible beach adjacent location

A wonderful home for our family of 6. The master bedroom gets a bit hot but the two kids bedrooms are perfectly cool.

The location right next to the beach is incredible and if you surf its a dream. This is one of the top breaks on the bay.

The only real issue with the house is that on Friday or Saturday night if it's not raining people will sometimes party on the beach and it can be loud. If this happens you can just call Hanaeli noise complaint and they send cops within 15 min...

an oasis in hanalei

Sunset Hale was a perfect oasis - close to the beach and a short walk to town but tucked away with privacy and greenery. It has all the amenities you need, including a lovely lanai and outdoor shower. The house is thoughtfully designed and stocked. It stays cool during the day, and has plenty of room for family/entertaining. The owners and housekeeper were gracious and welcoming.

perfect family vacation

It was a perfect stay in Hanalei with the property having everything we needed and walking to the beach and reatuarants of Hanalei. We were concerned about no AC as my husband is an asthma sufferer but it wasn’t an issue in the slightest. the numerous fans and trade winds made for perfect sleeping conditions. The owners left a little gift basket with recommendations and gift cards to local shops and when using a gift card at Pinks creamery, the person working there saw the gift card and said oh these owners are the best. We had that feeling but it was so nice to know how much they support local business on the beautiful island of kauai. Amazing recommendations. There was actually an island wide power outage the night before we checked out and we were quickly and easily able to find candles and matches. It really is the first time we have stayed anywhere where we felt like everything was thought of and left out for the renters and not stashed away in an owners closet. Wouldn’t hesitate to return. Most beautiful section of Hanalei beach. Loved loved. Thank you!

Thank you for writing a review of our Hanalei house and for giving it a score of 10 out of 10. We use the gift bag to introduce guests in our house to the interesting food and activity stores in Hanalei town. Pink’s ice cream and grilled cheese sandwiches are amazing. We choose to use ceiling fans and open windows to cool the house rather than air conditioning because with the high electric rates on Kauai, I would have to raise my rental rate significantly and I would rather you use the same money to go to the interesting places to eat in Hanalei. Please come back again in 2025; Hanalei is calling you. Mahalo, The Owners!

Our house cleaner works very hard to keep the house clean from the sand from Hanalei Bay, which is only 100 steps from the house and was rated the 3rd best beach in the state of Hawaii by the Hawaii Magazine. After enjoying the water and sand, we hope that you tried all of the interesting small food sources, like Pink’s Ice Cream and Wishing Well Shave Ice, in Hanalei Town. We added the electronic door lock so you could keep the house secure and not worry about losing a key in the sand on the bay. The house will be waiting for your family in 2025.

Great house, great location, clean and well maintained. Everyone had a fun time, especially with Hanalei Bay just a few steps away.

We stayed in this beautiful home for 11 days the end of May. It's steps to the beach and a seven minute walk to the adorable town of Hanalei. The local farmers market is every Saturday and it's even closer to the house. On arrival we were pleasantly surprised with gift cards to local places and an extra cleaning day during our stay. The home was very clean and the beds were comfortable. We had everything we needed for cooking and going to the beach. It is a busy rd next to the house but quiet after sunset and doesn't get busy until 10-11 am. The house is equipped with plenty of fans and with the windows open the lack of air conditioning was not a problem. I even got cold some nights with the windows open from the ocean breeze or if it rained. We can't wait to go back and would highly recommend this home if you vacation in Hanalei Bay.

beautiful, clean, well equipped house next to the beach

We had a wonderful 6 days in Hanalei Bay, staying in Sunset Hale. The house was convenient to both the beach and the town. It is only one house from the beach, and we spent time on the beach and in the water multiple times a day. My 11 and 13 year old boys surfed daily with my husband and always had an area to surf where the waves were just the right size for them.

The house was well maintained and well equipped. There were spices already there which enhanced our meals, and we had plenty of dishes, toilet paper, soap, etc. We used the washer and dryer which are located in a locked area under the house. They provided fragrance free detergent. We always had everything we needed and more.

The owners of this unit seemed especially generous and left us gift certificates for various local places like the ice cream store. We used many of the gift certificates, and enjoyed getting to walk into town for great food. Also, the property management company was excellent in their communication, and also left us treats and a small cooler bag and grocery bag that we also used daily. The house was extremely clean, and everything was in excellent working order. Thank you again!

What a beautiful location and very comfortable and well appointed home! We had Hanalei Bay almost completely to ourselves every morning. Thank you again and we will be back!

Thank you for writing a review of our house and for giving a 10/10 rating. Our house cleaner does an amazing job cleaning the house and making sure all of the house supplies are in-place before you arrive. Because the house is only 100 steps from Hanalei Bay, it is quick to come and go between the house and your beach activities. Viewing the full moon from the sand is something that you will always remember. Mahalo, The Owners

perfect staycation!

Hard to beat the location! The home was lovely... cute, spacious, clean, updated, well-equipped. We felt very at home. The beds were comfortable, the rooms were not cluttered or too bare. We utilized the outside foot washing station and shower after the beach.

great stay in paradise

Loved this house and our stay here...We were so comfortable and appreciative of the great beds, screened windows, fans everywhere, outdoor shower, etc. If people are looking for a super tranquil experience it is good to know that the house is on a small road that many people use to get to the beach. It did not bother us as it was worth it to be so close to the beach and in such a great house, but I think some people might prefer to be further from the beach and in more solitude. Personally we'd be back in a heartbeat.
